I used to have just one block, but thought I saw somewhere that it was better to break them up , so now I have 25 blocks of 5k but if it is better to just stake every other month, I don't see any advantage to staking everyday like I do with NET

Every other month?

But if you have a block which is 60 days old, don't you lose the coins which you would get if you would stake at 30 days?

For example, you have 1000 TEK, after 30 days you stake at 10% and you get 1100 coins to stake the next month.

If you stake every other month, in 60 days you ll still have that original 1000 TEK block to stake.

I am a little confused by the "you will get the rate of 60 days."If you don't stake 1000 coins for 60 days at 10% you will get 30 day rate of 1100, and the 1210 for the second month all in one go?How about partial months?Let's say I wait out 40 days because the difficulty is too high, then it drops down so I start staking. How is my extra 10 days paid out to me?

Also, if we all want to wait for a low difficulty, can the next release of the wallet have an auto-stake at the lowest difficulty?

I can't recall exactly how it's coded, but the interest rate is approximately 500% per annum (with variation from Novacoin code). If you go past the initial maturity, there's no upper limit. If you held out for a full year, and hit the difficulty correctly, you'd get ~500 %. Some POS coins have a "window" where it stops gaining weight after a time. TEK doesn't.

EDIT, I hit post too soon

It should be relatively trivial to write a script that monitors difficulty and unlocks your wallet via RPC command. Personally, I'm along for the ride. It stakes at whatever it stakes at. I know that's not optimal, but it's my game.

Hmm. I wonder if that's part of Noise23's update? Or was I just wrong?

My understanding was only the weight was limited at 90 days, limiting block weight competing for stake but the interest continues to accrue until it does stake. Does anywhere in the tekcoin code say different.Basically the staking weight is capped but the interest earned is not, meaning you would earn more interest the longer it takes to stake.

As long as i can remember it has always been this way.

Ah well. Not the first time I've been wrong

I guess my understanding was off because it does continue to accrue "interest", but not weight. I thought it was both. Never had a TEK block take more than a couple days to stake, so I didn't care, but it's better to be correct.
